Scripture

2 Nephi 31:20

Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.

Blessings!
This week was full of fun and blessings. We started our week on Monday night finding a girl named Jennifer. She’s
passing through some hard times right now and we shared with her the Book of
Mormon and now is a new investigator! On Tuesday, the miracle finally came, we
fixed our bikes and our now travelling everywhere in Alejandro Korn. Haha. Wednesday,
of course was a huge miracle because we had zone conference. Thursday, passed
the rainstorm all day long and the worst part about it is that the rain was
coming in our apartment and flooding it so to absorb the rain we used the extra
sheets we have in the apartment. Haha. But overall it was a great day! Friday,
the best day overall because we found a new couple that are married!! This is a
huge miracle because no one here in Argentina are married. There anmes are
Maria and Eduardo, they have a desire to learn more about Jesus Christ and the
help of the church with families because here son is a drug addict. After,
later that night, we made popcorn with Pablo and Katarine and taught them about
Faith and why we need to have it in this life and that they need to trust God
that they are prepared for baptism and won’t know everything before baptism. Saturday,
we taught a recent convert and an eternal investigator that only listens and doesn’t
want to act. But after these lessons we taught Santos and Valentina and set a
date for baptism for the 5th of March. We’re hoping they feel prepared by this date
and nothing happens in the next two weeks. Cross your fingers! And Sunday,
Santos, Valentina, Pablo and Katarine were all at church. The blessings just
keep on coming and coming. I love the gospel so much. It’s so beautiful. The
best part when ending church, a member that was inactive and is now attending
brought her grandson to church and he wants to be baptized! We have an
appointment with him tonight but he lives with his other grandparents in
another area who are Jehovah Witness and they don’t want anything with the
church. And at the end of the week he’s with his mom and his grandma. So
through the desire of this little kid who is 10 years old is activating his mom
and grandma from the desire he has to be baptized. All I can say is thank you.
Thank you for all the blessings and miracles that come from obedience. I love
you all and have a great week! Enjoy the weather wherever you are because itll
be raining over here everday of the week!

CHALLENGE: For all of you thinking about serving a mission, DO IT It will be
like nothing you've ever done before, but definitely worth it! The adults, and
families, do everything you can to help the missionaries. EVERYONE has a
testimony, share it. :) You never know when you can impact someone's life.

On Monday was such a crazy day. The apartment was
so dirty and youknow me, I can’t
handle dirt and clutter. So I chucked everything outthat was unnecessary. Haha. I felt so much better
after, but mycompanion thinks I’m
absolutely crazy. Tuesday, we taught two of ourinvestigators, named Santos and Valentina. Valentina
has ovary cancerand is like 45
years old. This couple is the cutest things ever. Ilove them so much, this day they were having a really
hard day and weasked them if they’ve
been praying. They said no. We ended the lessonasking them three times to pray and we ended the
lesson with Santospraying. When
he ended the prayer he and his wife were crying. Theysaid the only way we can help them is keep teaching
them so they cankeep having
faith. I love them so much and they’re so ready to bebaptized they just to feel ready yet. I know they will
be baptized andwill bless their
lives extremely. Friday, we taught another couplethat recently were separated and got back together
again becausethey’re both listening
to the lessons. This couple they’re both reallyyoung, Pablo is 24 and Katarine is 25. When we taught
them Katarinesaid that she
attended a catholic church the other day and doesn’t likethat church because she feels a difference in the
spirit and doesn’tlike how they worship
other gods or images. Them two are just so sweetand I know they will also get baptized just don’t feel
that preparedright now. But with
a couple more lessons I know they will gain moreconfidence.

I love the gospel so much and I know it to
be true becauseit changes it
changes the lives of people. We don’t change the people,the love of our Heavenly Father and the example of
Jesus Christchanges people. I
love you all. Have a great week!

11 months in the mission!

My companion is so weird! She eats tomato salad
with choclate chipcookies. Haha.

Our ward mission leader and his mom. He’s so awesome. It seems like he
served his mission like 3 months ago but it’s been like 20 months!

I cut my hair. It’s not that different but much healthier.

I love my compi!

The most hugest potato ever. Haha.

My companion tried for the first time ever chocolate ice cream with
french fries!

Alejandro Korn B!
Changes are hard but so awesome in the mission. I am now in Alejandro Korn B and i absolutely love it. It’s so gorgeous. We have half country and half city. My companion is Hermana Moreta who’s from Spain. Her family is Indian and it’s the coolest thing ever. She’s been inactive most of her life. She arrived in the mission not knowing who Joseph Smith is and now is baptizing and teaching so many people with so much excitement to teach and talk to everyone. Moreta is the cutest. We are excited to work together. Her trainer trained me also and so I know how everything will be. I love the mission and changes. It gives me an opportunity to learn more and love the gospel just more. During the week we had a worldwide mission conference, They announced a change in the schedule of the missionaries worldwide. They did it so we can have more control of our time and not be so tired!, I absolutely love it !! And we now only report 4 of the 9 key indicators which will hopefully focus our efforts on those 4, which are baptisms and confirmations, investigators in sacrament, New investigators, and Baptismal Dates that we have. This week everything is new for me. New companion, new area, new schedule, new ward and the best thing about it all is, my companion and I can make mistakes but learn together too. I love the gospel with all my heart and am so excited for everything to come.
This area has a lot of investigators progressing so I’m super excited.
Love you all and miss you. Have a great week. Chao!

This is Hermana Davis
speaking from Buenos Aires Argentina and it is so hot here, I’m dying. Lol. No,
just kidding. This week was a great week and very busy. Every week we learn
something new, and this week I learned to be diligent with the time that we
have. On Tuesday, was my companion's birthday and we started off our morning
with interviews with our president and I asked him to have a blessing for the
new year and just a blessing of comfort because I’ve been having a little hard
time with not being stressed with the little amount of time that we have. And
then after one of the members, put together a little birthday party for Hna.
Rascon and it was adorable. And of course we ended the night running through
the storm to just buy some ice cream. It was raining and thundering and had
such strong wind. And then there was us, walking in the rain with our umbrellas
that were folded in the opposite direction because of the wind, extremely wet, and
buying ice cream. Haha. It was so hilarious this day. Wednesday, we had
exchanges and it was fun. Everyone thinks that I’ll be the next sister leader
the next transfer so I’ll be having a lot of exchanges! It should be fun, but
we'll all find out next week. Also, we taught three Jehovah witnesses this week
because they have an older sister. And it was a really interesting lesson
because Blen their older sister is 17 years old and wants to know which church
is true because they were evangelists or Christians before, and then they
changed because all their answers were in the bible and the Jehovah witnesses
helped them with their doubts and now we're teaching them the fullness of the
gospel. And they're really excited and interested. But were moving at a slow
pace with them because we don't want to lose them, but this week we invited
them to pray to know if the church is true and they believe they can receive
and answer. Because they really are so awesome. Whenever they are confused or
have questions they always ask us and want to know why and we have to cite a
scripture to go with it so my companion and I are studying a lot for them.
Which is so great. Friday, we had the Family Home Evening and played the game
with balloons. It was really fun because you have to tie the balloon with a
string around your ankle and then try to pop the other people’s balloons
without them popping yours. It was cute. And then we ended the night eating
pizza. And yeah the rest of the week, was just visiting people knocking on
doors and visiting inactive members. The best part about this week was that 3
of our investigators came to church and were so excited to learn more! Their
names are Candela, Nico and Gabi. They're all kids but so great. The prophets
said that we need to teach and help the youth and young people obtain
testimonies in the gospel because the youth are the most receptive right now to
accept the gospel. And they have so much excitement to know the true church and
love the activities there are. I know this to be true and it’s also another
testimony to me because Joseph Smith was young when he saw Heavenly father and
Jesus Christ. People may have doubts why a young boy, that can't happen. But I
want to testify that it was a young boy because the other people who were much
older had a firm mind set to not believe and a only a young boy could believe
that they saw Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and not deny it. I know this
church is true with all my heart and know that whenever we have a doubt we can
ask God if these things are true. I hope you guys have an amazing week and this
week we start February! Love you!
